Note: Quotes may not be exact, since I didn't listen to my tape recording
at all. Also, I occasionally rearrange the chronology slightly to enhance
the narrative flow.
Five of us picketed the San Francisco org on Saturday. It was delightful
to see old friends and to meet our new South Bay SP (SBSP), who came fully
prepared with a videocamera. Aside from several semi-amiable photo
sessions with OSA Hunk Jeff Quiros (honestly, he's hunkier with the
moustache), it was a pretty uneventful picket.
THE PRE-PICKET PICKET
Before leaving for today's first-Saturday-of-every-month picket, I called
the police, as usual. I also scrounged around for a bookbag to hold my
fliers (I had some in an over-one-shoulder bag for easy fliering access
and loads of extras in a backpack).
The bookbag was a gift from a teacher I used to know (I spent some time
volunteering with schoolkids), and until today, I hadn't realized how
appropriate it is for picketing: it says:
"What part of 'KNOW' don't you understand?"
I had the same picket slogans as last time. On my large sign, I had:
SCIENTOLOGY: -> STILL CONVICTED
